A Kick in the [Bike] Shorts

[tangentgirl]

Y'know...trainer. I have one. Somewhere. Perhaps it is time to dig it out. Here I am counting down the days to the daylight savings time switch, when I could just chill with my trainer. Or warm, as the case may be. Thanks!

Alas, I'm trying to get my base conditioning right now.

My remedy is usually a joyride somewhere. Low miles to the bookstore, or coffee shop. Less training than for fun. Often a ride to a favorite restaurant for lunch is a good motivator.

Yes, I agree with Tofu, important to keep the fun factor. The promise of something nice to eat or drink at the end is quite motivating! And if halfway through, gives you some nice warming fuel to get back home again

Also, mixing things up a bit helps. If I'm feeling a bit so-so about hopping on the bike, I'll ride a different route, somewhere with nice scenery...also walking or running can be good to get you outdoors, but doing something different and I find once I'm out there, I think - Oh, this is so nice, now I want to get out here tomorrow and go for a ride!

Hope you get your health and mojo back soon!

Health and mojo back! The break seems to have worked, rode a couple few times over the week and just finished a 35-miler. It's nice to ride again.
